Hi Guys,
I've decided to take the plunge and have a crack at my own partial (and my own recipe). Previously I've used partial kits put together by the LHBS and followed the instructions religiously with pleasing results.
I've a couple of questions before I start firing up the stove.
1. What is considered a normal amount of grain to use in a partial?
2. How much water should I use per kg of grain when doing the steeping part?
My proposed recipe is below and I'm looking at steeping the grain in about 4 or 5 litres of water.
Thanks for your advice.
